9:05 By Adam Cadre

     9:05 is just a time it is also a famous work of interactive fiction. 9:05 was created by Adam Cadre in 2000. The character wakes up to a phone ringing next to him. After picking up the phone, someone screams at him that he has to be at work or he will be fired. The character changes out of his soiled clothes and after cleaning up, gets into a car. Upon arriving at the office, he sits down in a cubicle and fills out a form. When he goes to turn in the form, the boss who had been on the phone earlier asks, "Who the hell are you?" The game ends with a news anchor reporting that a murderer killed his victim and hid him under the bed. He put on his clothes and tried to assume his victim's career. The anchor says that the character will be seeking an insanity plea. Play 9:05 here

A hidden trick to the game is, the player can look underneath the bed to find a dead body, that the character had murdered , and can choose to flee in the car instead of going to the office.

This work done by Adam Cadre was very interesting. As you can see in my screencast below, I was very confused on what the hell just happen... you finally get the soiled disgusting man into work and he is actually a murder!

Now the other choice  that can be made is to discover you are a murderer. You do this by waking up and looking under your bed. 

After the dead body is discovered you shower and use the toilet to clean yourself up a bit. You grab the keys and hit the road and eventually get out of Las Mesas and are home free.

In my opinion I think Adam Cadre did a fantastic job on this work of interactive fiction. It gives a sense of humor and is quick and short to the point. The game was very easy to understand after completing the first time and discovering you were a killer on accident, by thinking you were just going into work.
